EAT THE FOOD OR KILL A MAN

I happenned to be in zanzibar(tanzania) a couple of years ago trust me it was paradise on earth.Well like every paradise even this has its own problem. A very profund thing happenned when i was there which i can never forget in my life, we were there for a film shoot and the sequence required a local slum. we were shooting in live location but we added a few shops to give some character like the washing lady,ice cream seller and a meat shop... well that meat shop required a lot of meat so we bought a lot of meat which wasn't fresh ...because  for a fact we are not going to eat it.

I started setting up the background people and were giving them some activities, but most of them insisted they stood near the meat shop. din't understand that then, but a couple of hours later when that sequence got over i couldn beleive my eyes those background artists and a few other localites were literally beating up and hurting each other to get a piece of meat, there was blood a lot of blood to get that old stinky meat. I still cant forget an old man's face who was literally thrown out of that crowd it's a miracle that he even survived that kind of fall.

This incident made me think and realize how blessed i was and i don't have to worry about food and infact i started feeling guilty that i have wasted so much food in my life which could have(with all probability am sure it could have) filled a lot of empty stomach. i wish everyone who has been blessed with their everyday meal and some excess meal should really take this into consideration, and take a moment to think of all those poor kids who will be starving to death. I can guarantee you that they have no clue that KFC or PIZZA HUT even exist. For them a handfull of food will be heavenly , so remember whenever u order a meal and waste it. Just tell yourself that the very food you wasted  could have saved atleast 3 hungry kids...

Great poet bharathiar said "thani oru manithanukku unavillai endral itchjagathinai azhithiduvom"( even if a single person is not fed we would destroy this universe) well sounds good... but bharathiar is dead and so his sayings . The Indian subcontinent has nearly half the world's hungry people. Africa and the rest of Asia together have approximately 40%, and the remaining hungry people are found in Latin America and other parts of the world.  i think every single individual should feel the pain of those who starve and consciously  make an effort to not waste anymore food... well today i am going to share my KFC chicken with the man who sits on the pavement of my street corner.SO WOULD YOU... I HOPE

SHAME ON US

IS it true that since we call ourselves a peaceful nation,we don't react to anything at all, we have been taunted big time by our neighbors ever since independence,before independence it was totally a different ball game, we were slaves for more than 100 years. Is it in our indian gene to be so tolerable or is it our lack of patriotism? or is it our lethargic attitude?

we let a foreign national company set up its factory, don't bother inspecting their security systems, then it takes away more than 15,000 lives in one night and thousands still suffer the aftermath of that gory night. Rajkumar kesawani foresaw this catastrophe two years before the gas leak and wrote "bhopal is on the edge of a volcano" in a local magazine called rapat. he even posted a letter to the highest officals, nobody gave heed to it including our usual people who reacts to nothing unless something happens in there own life. 

25 years later a judgement is given which as left us wondering IS THIS ALL we can do? IS THIS ALL our nation can do? SHAME ON US. Well... when the americans were hit, they went on  war and have brought down a nation to its dark age. and we have lost  so many people amidst their celebrations and all we did was just talk for a while on the media and me still blogging but could do nothing, why the voices of those dead souls are not heard? may be a celebrity should have died among those 15,000. May be that would have made the channels show more interest on the case like the jessica lal murder. Bravo... i felt very happy when justice was served and that too because of the media's persistence in getting justice in that case. why everything and everybody has gone quiet about those people in bhopal, does that mean JUSTICE is not for the poor. should we all just keep quiet as usual as we always do?? or should the media and all the powerful people should take this as an insult to the whole of INDIA and do something about it??? if the americans think OSAMA is there most wanted so is WARREN ANDERSON for us(well statistically he has taken more lives)
